Michael Stefano, Anthony Rosano, Brianna Love, Manuel Ferrara, Carmen Kinsley, Sunny Lane, Georgia Peach, Alexis Texas
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Massive Asses is a great combination of beautiful women with impressive backsides and hot, genuine hardcore. It also signals the return of director Mason, who has retooled the letters of her name to become Sam No.
Brianna Love lights up the screen when she takes a quick public stroll in a pair of short-shorts that ride up the crack of her ass. Blonde girls Georgia Peach, Alexis Texas (whose big booty dominates the box cover) and Carmen Kinsley also make great-looking video. But Sunny Lane and Manuel Ferrara kill it during a stellar scene that leaves beads of their sweat all over the house.
Pre-Nom Sunny and Manuel for Best Couples Sex Scene – Video.
Retailing: One of the best big butt releases this month.

From: TSS ()
BSE found in four-year-old cow 29 July 2005 17:01 It is the second case involving a cow born in 2001. The latest case involves an animal from a dairy herd in Co Monaghan. It had been hoped that animals born after 1997 would not become infected with BSE because regulations to prevent the spread of the disease were tightened significantly around that time. Advertisement The Department of Agriculture had predicted that a small number of cases might involve animals born after 1997. So far, 14 cases have involved animals born since that time. However, the overall trend is downward. The total number of cases this year is 42. This compares with 77 cases for the equivalent period in 2004. There were 119 cases for the equivalent period in 2003, and 211 cases for the equivalent period in 2002. A second case this week involved an 11-year-old dairy cow in Kerry. http://www.rte.ie/news/2005/0729/bse.html TSS

I like how the logo features an african american burger patty right next to a slice of watermelon.
Posted by Anonymous | July 30, 2011 11:37 AM
I didn't think of the burger as African American, but now that you point it out, the whole poster is racist.
B = spray pained concrete, code for urban, code for black
L = watermelon
O = black burger (passing the basketball to P)
C = so hot, code for down south, code for Africa
K = clapboard shack, code for slave housing
P = sky, where all the hopes and dreams of African Americans will ever be (as well as recipient of passed basketball)
A = cone, code for "you're not allowed here, Whites Only"
R = hose, the black man's only beach is an open hose in the street
T = big titties .... yeah, we got dem, when we bone all ya blonde bitches
Y = noise maker, cause we all just yell all the time
So, yeah, pretty clearly racist

If the hamburger is African American, then the pizza is obviously Chinese. Marco Polo totally stole pasta and pizza from the Chinese and co-oped it for Italy. In the name of being "progressive". Marco Polo was the Barak Obama of his day.
Marco was a hero to most,

How to Shop Well for Clothes in a Thrift Store
Thrift store (opportunity shop, charity shop etc.) shopping is great for finding a bargain and adding items to your wardrobe for little cost. This article has some suggestions for making your thrift store hunting more successful!
1Decide if you're the sort of person who likes thrift store shopping. Thrift stores require a lot of rummaging, which can be time-consuming and tiring. Often they smell musty or are dusty, so if you have allergies, be sure to spend only short amounts of time visiting. Also, you won't always find an item in your size. You won't always find something you like, either. If you are someone who loves to rummage, would sacrifice a half day in pursuit of a bargain and enjoys the thrill of the hunt as much as the kill, then thrift store shopping is for you! You must have perseverance, determination, patience and grit.Ad
2Decide what time is best for you to go. You need at least a spare hour, maybe two. Since rummaging requires energy, choose the time of day when you feel strong and energetic. Some stores are open at night or weekends. Nights are good because fewer people go then. Weekends are likely to be busier. Sales days are the busiest.
3Try shopping with a friend who you trust so won't you get frustrated with the time you will be taking. It can help to get another opinion and you'll be less likely to leave the store with something that looks awful, or something that you don't actually like. If you're having absolutely no luck, it's good to have a friend along so you can show them all the humorously horrible things you find.
4Enter the store of your choice. There are two ways to shop. The first is that you have come with an object in mind, for example, a pair of jeans. So head straight to the area where the jeans are and look with that in mind alone.
5The second way is that you have no idea what you're looking for, as long as it fits, is gorgeous and is a total bargain. In this case, start at the beginning. It is always wise to choose one type of thing though - for example, focus on clothes rather than also trying to look at the books, china, toys and bikes etc. Unless the store is tiny, you'll wear yourself out and possibly over-buy.
6Many thrift stores color code their clothes. This makes it easier for you to avoid colors that you don't like and not waste extra time. If the clothes are hanging up, it is easier to spot items. Learn to look for a. color; b. texture and c. style. If they're in a heap, dig in and pull!
7Color and texture should leap out at you just by running your eyes over the top or sides of the clothing racks. This takes care of the need to pull out every item.
8Just pull out the clothes that appeal by color and texture, so that you can check for style. Texture is really important - you should become familiar by eyesight with high quality fabrics and knits such as high quality cotton, cashmere, linen, silk, natural fabrics etc so that you focus on these. Avoid items that are all synthetic (except for serious outdoor clothing, or if you're looking for something that won't wrinkle in a suitcase) - that is probably why they're in the store in the first place. Look for classic styles which don't date easily.
9Be honest with yourself even before trying on the item. Do you really like the style overall - the arms shape, the leg flare, the neck plunge etc? Is it really your color? Will it match with clothes you already own? Also be honest with yourself about whether you would really make any alterations or repairs necessary before you would wear it -- if you're not likely to get out the sewing machine or pay a tailor, stick with items that already work!
10Check closely for stains, tears, mended parts, stretched stitching (often hard to repair) and marks. Do pants have a shiny seat, are beads or buttons missing? If you see these, ask yourself if are they easily reparable or are they so damaged that the rag bag would be a better place for these clothes? Only get items in good condition or capable of an easy repair. And never buy anything with perspiration stains - they just will not come out. Remember that buttons are not a problem - you can easily replace lost ones with better ones.
11If the item is quality but it suffers from issues such as stains or being too large or slightly outdated, then still consider it. A tailor can have it altered or cleaned and you will still end up being a lot less than purchasing it brand new or from a consignment store.
12Time to try on your clothes. Many changing areas only permit 3 items at a time (something that is a bit hard when you have a cartload of goodies!) or they are so open as to be almost immodest. A good trick is wear clothes that enable you to try the items on over the top. A good set is a leotard or swim suit with a little t-shirt and short flared skirt. Slip-on shoes are essential.
13Always look in a mirror to see if the clothes really do suit you. If there is no mirror, you take the risk but given the price, it'll probably be a cheap risk!
14If you still have energy left, look around some more. Sometimes items donated by the same individual of your taste and size will be close together on the rack. Maybe match some items together with the ones you already have.
15Buy your clothes. If you have coupons, be sure to use them.
16Wash your clothes. You can't be sure they're really clean. Check pockets before cleaning--you could be pleasantly surprised by forgotten money!
17Enjoy your creativity, thriftiness, and making the world a better place by donating money and items. Second-hand is no longer second-best; it is about sharing wants & needs with others around the world.Ad
We could really use your help!
rate articles?
electrical maintenance?
Nest thermostats?
- Don't forget jewelry, hair clasps, ribbons, watches, belts, scarves and hats. These make wonderful and very inexpensive additions. You can often pick up a very expensive silk scarf or a designer belt for next-to-nothing if you rummage carefully. Maybe even a pashmina?!
- Ignore any snobby people who look down on you for buying second hand. You are getting great stuff for cheap, helping the environment, and if the shop donates proceeds for charity, helping the less fortunate.
- Be patient - the reasons for why people throw out clothes and other items are so varied but in the main it is because the item is underfoot, no longer wanted and often out-dated. So, there will be junk to rummage through but one person's junk is another's person's treasure and your little treasure is hidden there somewhere!
- Take along a bag of stuff you don't want anymore when you go to buy things for you at the thrift store. It will lessen the load in your life and help the recycling continue.
- Salvation Army and Goodwill have very cheap clothing, even for a thrift store.
- Don't argue about the price. The prices are generally very good anyway. They are priced to sell and to raise funds for a good cause. And if you think it's cheaper at the dollar store down the street, go and buy it from there instead of arguing. Haggling might be the norm but it depends on your store and part of the world. Do it kindly and with good heart.
- Many of the people running these stores are volunteers and are doing this out of the goodness of their heart. Treat them to a cheery smile and a short chat and let them know they're doing a good job.
- On hats, there are some great hats at thrift stores but once you get home you should put it in the freezer for 24 hours, and then (if possible) wash it. This kills any things that might have been living in it.
- Keep an eye out for sales and half price days. Then you'll get totally amazing bargains.
- Leave your purse in the trunk of the car (or at home). Carrying cash in your pocket frees up your hands for sorting/digging/browsing.
- Many thrift stores state 'no ticket, no sale'. This is to avoid fraud. However, if you find something un-ticketed and you really love it, just see one of the sales staff and explain that that was how you found it and that you'd really like to purchase it. Usually they'll find a price for it!
- If something is not right with the store, make a gentle suggestion about changing it. Or even become a volunteer there yourself and help make the change.
- if you can't think of three things that would go with it that you have or are buying, DON'T GET IT!!!!!
- Don't wear a coat. You'll be more comfortable without a coat on and it's easier to hold clothing up to see if it fits, looks good on you, etc.
- Shoes should be clean and not over-worn. Feet are precious and if a shoe is so obviously molded to another person's shape, then don't even try them on, as they'll damage your feet. This is especially important for children's feet, although on the plus side, children grow out of shoes so quickly that often almost completely unworn shoes can be found.
- If you don't like the clothes after you get home, you can always sell them on eBay.
- Underwear is very personal. Most thrift stores do sell secondhand underwear and always in cleaned condition. It is a very personal choice.
- Don't be embarrassed to shop at a thrift store. Lots of people do it! Say you're trying to save money, because you are!
- Don't buy clothes that you don't absolutely love, or don't quite fit, or are otherwise substandard--even if they are a bargain! It's tempting to buy something that's almost right, because it's so inexpensive. It's still a waste of time, space, and your appearance to buy something that's just not quite right. If you do insist on the multicolored sweater that is two sizes too small, give it away to someone who would appreciate it.
- Visit thrift stores in upmarket areas to find good quality natural fabrics, usually with a good cut. The clothes found in higher class areas tend to have been better looked after too. However, some thrift stores are national chains that deliver goods from all over, rich towns, poor towns--don't overlook the thrift store in the less upscale communities.
- When going to the thrift store, make sure you have a list of what you need or want.
- Don't feel ashamed or embarrassed to be shopping second-hand; it's practical, smart, and financially sensible. Anyone who would put you down for doing it only makes themselves look bad (and shallow!).
- Don't steal from thrift stores. Not only is it illegal but, you're stealing from a place that is raising money to help people who really need it. If you really can't afford it, tell them. Many will refer you to their help center which can give you coupons for free clothing etc.
- Take water to drink. Many thrift stores are too poor to have air-conditioned premises or are very dusty/musty and you may feel your senses overwhelmed. Drinking some water will help to dampen down the heat/smells.
- Be aware that thrift stores attract all walks of life. This means that you may be chatted up by lonely souls seeking comfort, you may be confronted by aggressive people who have intellectual disabilities or are down on their luck and you may be accosted by loud-speaking people who are pooh-poohing the clothes. All of them have their reasons for being there; just be polite and move on to the next rack.
Things You'll Need
- Money, or coupons of some sort (if they offer them) to the thrift shop.
- A large, sturdy bag to put your objects in. Some shops provide bags, but some don't, and clothes (and plenty of other things) can be VERY heavy!

Small and versatile, the SureTemp Plus 690 electronic thermometer is accurate and easy to use. With an ergonomic design, this thermometer measures patient's temperature in the oral, axillary, and rectal body sites of adult, pediatric, and newborn patients. It has an easy-to-read LCD display and a removable, interchangeable probe well to prevent cross-contamination. A recall button allows for display of the last temperature taken.
Our program has been using these thermometers for 6 years. We have not had any issues. Still as accurate as day 1. The cost might seem high but with the dependabily and long life of the unit. It is well worth it. I really like that it is easy to use and you get an accurate quick reading. Get it you won't be sorry.

Should we change the road signs to metric and get rid of the imperial units?
(18 Posts)The time of day cannot be metricated because the only metric unit of time is the second. Smaller times are the millisecond, microsecond etc, but there are no minutes, hours etc in the metric system. Changing the time to 10 hours in a day has been investigated, but the reason (or at least one of the reasons) is that 24 has a lot more factors than 10, so the day can be divided into halves, thirds, quarters, sixths etc. The same is true of 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour (and 360 degrees in a complete rotation, come to that).
There was a time some years ago when someone introduced the 'grad', an attempt at a metric degree. There were to be 400 grads in a complete revolution, making a right angle 100 degrees and you can still sometimes see these on older scientific calculators. As far as I know this idea has now been abandoned.
ok, with time I am definitely imperial!!
Change it all so that we are forced to see it and get used to it. I grew up with metric and am over 40. I don't think there are any probs with using cm for height, or g for cooking if we consistently did this for the next generation instead of a bit of this a bit of that. I thought speedometers all had both anyway. Would get us used to seeing and using decimal places better.
What about dividing the day into, say 10 "hours" tho in the future? I reckon maybe it could come. Then each hour into 100 units etc. More logical?
dolallytats - I am happy to have both, but hate the imperial only
actually just noticed I posted backwards :
at doctors they are measured in METRIC and I don't bother to ask for conversion!
I live abroad so all the signs are in km. it doesn't bother me but its not just the signs they would have to change its all the car speedometers as well. I prefer metric.
Oh, please don't change. I can only do feet and inches and stones and pounds. I have no idea if there are kg or km involved!!
Lougle: Yes
Steppemum: Well done. I have no idea how much I weigh in stones and pounds either. I was visiting a friend in hospital the other day in the baby ward and there was a set of weighing scales for the babies. I pressed the ON button and guess what - they came up with the metric scale! How long do our very busy nurses spend converting these to imperial units for parents? Complete waste of time.
Eglantyne: Very annoying indeed and you see this all over the place. But the cross over point is not 45. I'm 65 and have been taught both sets of units since I was eleven in 1958! Don't let the over 45's tell you they never did metric.
We were visiting a SeaLife place at the weekend, and all the info boards had the fish etc described in inches. Very annoying, ds kept asking for conversions, but I was schooled in metric too! So are the signs aimed at Americans and the over 45 only?!
I actually have no idea how tall my dcs are in feet and inches, or how heavy in stones and pounds.
I get really irritated when these things are only given in imperial. eg kids soft play you must be under 4'9'' I have no idea how tall ds is in imperial. Every time he is measured at hv or doctor it is in imperial. I don't bother to ask for imperial as I understand metric.
Use both or use metric
(dons hat pours wine and sits back)
ps, disclaimer, dh is dutch so he doesn't understand imperial, so I ahve been well trained!!
yes change them. We have been teaching it in school for 40 years, about time we started using it!
Ahhh alanyoung...there you are. Do you have a claxon which goes off when the subject of metrication comes up?
You have to be careful about teachers preferring girls these days, Alan. I know it's a pun and a joke. But that kind of humour isn't funny in this day and age.
Being male, I'd prefer a 1.5 metre girl!
Good thought - but I suspect our kids will just need to adapt to the fact that we live in a mad world. My school year (in the 1960s) was the very first where we used the MKS (Metre / Kilogramme / Second) system of measurement in all science subjects. It made science easier and engineering potentially safer.
But 40-odd years on, we still have pounds and kg, gallons and litres in common use. And curved bananas!
The old units still have a lot of merit for approximate use: e.g. I tell my driving pupils to keep a clearance from parked cars of at least one foot for every 10 mph. The advantage of feet is that most adults carry this unit of measurement around on the end of their legs.
You may not know that motorways are marked out in km: the marker posts along the edge are 100 metres apart.
Rough conversion units: 1 mile = 1.6km or 1600 metres. 1 kg = 2.2 pounds.
1 gallon = 4.54659 (I think) litres. For many practical purposes 1 metre = 1 yard
The biggest marvel to me is that in the USA they use feet and pounds in their engineering; how they ever manage to get a skyscraper to stand up or a jumbo-jet to fly completely eludes me.
OS maps : use a piece of string then measure it off on the scale.
And the decider : would you prefer a 6ft male or a 182.8 cm one?
My verdict: life will never be simple; but mixed units help to make it fun!
Why don't you go for the Irish approach - change over to km on new signs, but keep the miles on the old signs. And this is the really fun bit: don't tell motorists which unit is used on each sign! Makes driving so much more entertaining.
Just too expensive.
Just a thought - if we changed the road signs completely to metric, would it help our children's maths and science as what they see on the signs would give them practice in what they learn at school. As things are at the moment, there is no relationship. For example, road signs use miles, but OS maps use kilometers. Unless you have a cycle with a metric odometer, it is virtually impossible in this country to measure a kilometer, so on journeys in a car it is extremely difficult to plan using an OS map.

ANIMAL-RIGHTS activists have been banned from collecting donations in the North, amid fears the money would be used to support criminal attacks. Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty had applied to Sunderland City Council for permission to hold street collections on football match days in the city. The group has been the focus of numerous police investigations for targeting Huntingdon Life Sciences, a company which tests medicines and chemicals on animals, officers said yesterday. Police told councillors at a meeting yesterday that the group has committed thousands of crimes as members seek to close down the Cambridgeshire research company. -- full story: http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/journallive/ thejournal/tm_headline=animal-group-linked-to-crimes-is-banned&method=full&objectid=19395201&siteid=50081-name_page.html

Hot weather means busy times for AC repairmen

A New York Times article about the prevalence of on-campus flash mobs highlighted this one, at the University of Minnesota.
The dozens of students and handful of faculty members were celebrating the 75th anniversary of the U's College of Science and Engineering.
The article gave Goldy Gopher got a nod, which he noted on Twitter.
The story says that these "outbursts of seemingly impromptu dance numbers" were super common at orientations this year. It adds:
The college-sponsored performances, which have grown to feature coordinated costumes and appearances by tweedy officials, sometimes suggest the dance equivalent of the school fight song, a far cry from the roots of the genre — informal gatherings hastily called via social media.

HotTubWorks Spa Repair Forums
Welcome to the HotTubWorks Spa Repair Forums.
Results 1 to 5 of 5
Thread: no heat
Threaded View
We own a gulf coast spa rotundra (we got used so unsure of the date of tub but we think 2003, no manual came with it) that stop putting heat out a week ago. We had it up to 103 for one weekend, turned it down during the week, went back out to turn it up and not heat. We replaced the heater element, the flow switch and still no heat. We cannot find a hi limit switch any where on the tub. We just got in the temperature probe and when we install it, it states the temperature is 124 and shuts the whole tub down (water temperature is actually around 45 degrees) if we unhook the probe it states the water temeperature is 32 on the top side of the tub and no heat. Everything else works on the tub both motors, jets light etc. Just cannot get any heat. no error codes on the top side of the tub. The heater light does show that it is on when we crank up the numbers but no heat. Any suggestions?

Beta blockers and long term effects on COPD
They may
improve survival and reduce exacerbations
Physicians traditionally decry the use of beta blockers in COPD based largely on physiologic rationale. This is similar to our avoidance of beta blockers in heart failure in the 60s and 70s.

Crans (pronounced 'Crons') when the swell is there to make it work is a hollow wave breaking hard on a shallow bottom. Many of the waves will seem to close out but those who know it will pick the better waves and get some nice tube rides. Just sit and watch where the guys are sitting and taking off.
It's a great spot to surf. If you persist after a few crashes on take off you will have some really good waves. It's the place if you want to learn to handle late take offs. Body boarders have a ball when it's small.
It's a great spot. It will have some days when it produces some fantastic tubes. It's a bit heavy though and I've snapped a board just duckdiving when a big one broke on my back so be ready if it's over 4 foot. It can bounce you off the bottom as well.

CIMZIA(R) Data Shows Long-term Improvements in Productivity, Quality of
Life and Lessened Fatigue According to Studies Presented at American
College of Rheumatology (ACR) Annual Scientific Meeting
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- 5:00 AM PST -- UCB announced today results from several Phase III clinical trials evaluating CIMZIA(R) (certolizumab pegol) - the only PEGylated anti-TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) - presented at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Annual Scientific Meeting. Results from the open-label extension study to RAPID 1 met both co-primary endpoints (American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response(a) scores at Week 24 and change from baseline in modified Total Sharp Scores at Week 52). Results also showed that CIMZIA together with methotrexate (MTX) provided ACR 20 response as early as Week 1 with sustained long-term benefit in relieving symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through 100 weeks.
Another analysis investigating the rapidity of response to CIMZIA as a monotherapy (FAST 4WARD) and together with MTX (RAPID 1) was presented at the meeting. Both studies met their primary endpoints (ACR20 response rate at Week 24) with clinical and statistical significance. The analysis presented showed that the response to CIMZIA treatment was rapid in both studies with more than a third (36.7 percent) of patients receiving CIMZIA as a monotherapy (FAST 4WARD) and nearly a quarter (22.9 percent) of patients receiving CIMZIA together with MTX (RAPID 1) achieving an ACR20 response within one week, both significantly different from placebo. ACR20 response rates peaked at Week 12 in both studies and were sustained until the end of the studies (Week 24 in FAST 4WARD; Week 52 in RAPID 1).
"The data show that treatment with CIMZIA in clinical trials produced a
fast and clinically meaningful effect for RA patients over an extended
period of time," said Michael Schiff, M.D., study investigator and Clinical

Queen Victoria Cruise Review by chet63: Taking a Queen to Amsterdam

Compare Prices on Queen Victoria Europe - British Isles & Western Cruises
Taking a Queen to Amsterdam
Having been on Queen Victoria once before, we knew from the outset that this would be a good cruise, and it lived upto and exceeded our expectations. We loved the service and staff approach , and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Having been on Grand Princess earlier in the year, and found we compared Princess with our Cunard expecations and were a little disappointed, we wanted an injection of cunard class and culture and certainly got it.
Shows, restaurant, and casino were good, excursions were excellent and value for money, cabin brilliant - clean and always immaculate on our return to it, althogh it didn't always remain that way as we enjoyed some afternoon naps and the bed didn't always remain expertly folded and tucked !!
Disco very empty at 10 pm and so ideal for a quick drink before the Casino !! But it quickly filled up 10.30 to 11 pm and the music or band increased their volume and I went elsewhere.
Shops were good, sales were not quite More
as trashy as in the past, and almost purchased a picture from the Gallery but manged to resist !! Less

Port and Shore Excursions
As we were berthed in Amsterdam (near an opera or classical music centre) it was a 10 - 15 minute walk to the main square and train station where the canal cruises are centred. We chose to purchase a cruise at the tourist desk in the terminal and it really was cheaper than Cunard or the actual canal cruise company.
Never been to Amsterdam and this wet my appetite to return !!!

Brief description:
Energy consumption in Sweden is mostly based on hydro- and nuclear power. Other important contributions are combined heat and power plants and district heating based on e.g. heat from waste handling and biogas. The fact that the CO2 emissions caused by power production are relatively low has leaded the focus on to other areas than CCS. There is for instance extensively growth of the use of green power and a huge amount of research projects are carried out about utilities of bio energy. There has been little change in climate policy since 2011, although Sweden has increased energy and CO2 tax and it is currently developing a "carbon neutral by 2050" roadmap, which goes before government at the end of 2012. It has also produced an environmental technology strategy. However, Swedish companies, institutes and universities have cooperation projects going on together with companies in both Norway and EU. CO2 capture from pressurized flue gas has been demonstrated at a pilot plant with authentic flue gas from Värtan Combined heat and power plant in Stockholm. The project has confirmed that pre -treatment of the flue gas is adequate for protecting the absorbent from degradation, that the CO2 capture efficiency is high (> 98%), that no harmful components are fed into the gas turbine, and that absorbent degradation is low. The project was carried out in 2007-2008 on Fortums CHP plant in Sthockholm. The technology used was the hot potassium carbonate process offered by the Norwegian technology company Sargas. There are R&D projects going on between Swedish and Norwegian universities/institutes. For instance the Skagerrak CO2 project carried out by Chalmers University of Technology together with the Norwegian research institute Tel-tek and Telemark university collage. The project is partly industrial and public founded and establish knowledge about common challenges in the Skagerrak region. Other Swedish participants are among others Gøteborg Energy and Vattenfall. One of the interesting aspect is that large point sources in the Skagerrak region are evaluated and there is considered how well suited these are for CO2 capture. Among the point sources that are evaluated are Lysekil refinery, Borealis in Stenungsund, and two refineries and a waste combustion plant in Gøteborg UlcosEnergy and energy policy
The Swedish power company Vattenfall has demonstrated carbon capture with the oxyfuel technology at several sites in Europe. These projects are described elsewhere.Research
Ulcos(Ultra–Low Carbon dioxide Steelmaking) is a research & development initiative to enable drastic reduction in CO2 emissions from steel production. The consortium consists of steel companies, energy and engineering partners, research institutes and universities.
One method used is the so called Top Gas Recycling Blast Furnace. This technology seperates the off gases, so that the useful components can be recycled back into the furnace and used as a reducing agent. In addition, the concept of injecting Oxygen into the furnace instead of preheated air, removes unwanted Nitrogen from the gas, and thereby facilitating Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage.
To experimentally test this concept a gas separation plant was constructed next to LKAB's Experimental Blast Furnace in Luleå, Sweden. The combination of the modified blast furnace and the gas separation plant was successfully tested in 2007.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Central European Media Enterprises (NASDAQ: CETV ) were picking up mostly static today, falling as much as 14% on a disappointing earnings report.
So what: Because of a non-cash impairment charge of $522.5 million, the European broadcaster posted a loss of $494.2 million for the quarter. Revenue declined 8.5% to $253.3 million as the TV ad market became weaker because of the sluggish European economy. Including the impairment charges, CME, as the company is known, posted a $6.96 per share loss for the year. In his comments, CEO Adrian Sarbu noted the tough economic climate and said, "Challenging times require bold actions: increasing advertising prices and carriage fees."
Now what: Considering the transition of advertising to media such as the Internet and now mobile devices, it's unclear if the company will be able to sustain the proposed price increases. The European economy still seems at least six months away from shifting into recovery, and CME needs the macroeconomic environment to improve for it to start turning a profit again. I'd stay away from this one, especially with more potential goodwill writedowns on the way.

the answer
The explanation is based on geometry. Namely that muscle strength inscreases in as the geometric square of body size, but body mass increases by the geometric cube. The forces that a muscle can produce are proportional to its cross-sectional area (length squared), while body mass is proportional to volume (length cubed). If an ant is one centimeter long, and it grows to ten centimeters, it's strength would increase by 100, but it's mass would increase by 1000. So it would be ten times less strong than when it is 1 cm long. So an animal's ability to generate force gets greater the smaller it is. This geometric truth explains why an ant can famously lift 50 times its body weight
There's a good explanation with diagrams at the Flying Turtle science education website.

You should travel more to Hungary and open your eye.
Finality one country leader (after Iceland) realize the purpose of the "modern" banking system (dept slavery) and try to fight with it. Unfortunate that all western news media calls him a fascist or unrealistic. More countries leader should realize the same thing and start to protect they people from this type of solution (more loan)or money hungry out of touch groups of people.
I hope the EU conservative bloc sends a strong message to this government by suspending Fidesz
from the EU Parliament bloc.This a populist government of the worst type;sadly this has happened often in Hungarian history. My fear is that this government will not only fail in every respect,but will open the door for even worse e.g.the growth of Hungarian fascist movements. I am an American of Hungarian background who has been a frequent visitor to Hungary since 1976. I welcomed the end of communism,
but rgret that this type of government has come to power,Hungary has so many talented people who could lift this sad land forward given honest and effective government. There is evidence of this in some of the comments below. Misi bacsi
Here is the answer to Left-liberal scepticism:
google it: martonyi_level_biztosoknak.pdf
Believe me, I'm even more tired of having to argue about sheer facts with ardent Fidesz loyalists all the time. You know exactly what kind of INSTITUTIONAL criticism the government is stamping out. Just a few examples of many, many more:
- a professional committee doesn't like the new name of the Budapest Airport - committee is disbanded
- Constitutional Court doesn't like a tax law - the Court's right to review tax laws is revoked for good
- President of the High Court criticizes the judicial reform - he's dismissed
- the Budget Council says the budget is unfounded - all members are dismissed, the council reorganized
- etc.
mind your own business my friend
You should re-read your comment. In the context it looked awfully like a comparison to Hitler, Stalin, etc.
You may have a misunderstanding about democracy. It is the rule of the majority. As long, as the Prime Minister enjoys the support of the majority, it is actually a democracy.
I did not write about the outsiders being always wrong – I wrote it to describe you. I recognize my mistake, and now I understand, that you are not an outsider, rather you are a member of the minority. You are fully entitled to your opinion.
I don't fully understand, why the Western European countries are so angry with Orban Viktor, when he is minding his and his country's business, but it is not my goal to understand them. However I would like to remind you, that your generalization of the Western world, as a homogeneous minded people when it comes to their opinion of Hungary, might just be a little too simplistic too.
You wonder, if the too many Hungarians don't understand the Western world or just don't care. I bet, they don't care. They mind their own business and expect others to do the same. They are the ones, who don't write demeaning comments about Hungary or the Hungarians in foreign publications – they leave this to the fringe minority. They may just believe, that this fringe minority feels so powerless, that this is the only way to receive any attention.
Dear Hedy, thanks for proving my point. You are wrong in every single statement and assumption you made in your comment.
1. I'm Hungarian, not an outsider
2. It seems logical that all the following things caused by Orbán's government are bad for the nation:
2. I didn't judge Hungarians, I judged the uncritical and emotion-led followers of Orbán, like yourself
3. Hitler, Stalin, Kim were all leaders supported by the majority of their people. This doesn't mean that they were leaders of democratic systems. Democracy is not defined this way.
Wait and see! And read. If the nemzeti politika and nemzetpolitika of a free nation is committing suicide, just do it. This is environmental friendly.
Before the fall of the Wall, among the old communist eastern European countries Hungary seemed to have better standard of living than its neighbours. Freedom and EU membership must have got into their heads in a strange way! EU being what it is, i.e. just an imperfect "Common Market", politically impotent and nothing else, it is really too much to expect that it will act.
Bumm Adam. "Why won't they just let Hungarians live the way they can?" Because for example the country is still a member of EU. And they think Hungary has violated several EU laws and regulations including EU treaty. Hungary can of course free to leave the EU and live as her people like. Who would care? I mean, outside Hungary.
By the way: did Jesus have 1000 followers? How can a political body decide on matters of religion? Do not say it is a financial matter (state financial support). Does the US budget support any churches?
"Problem is, guys, that while Orbán professes to implement measures to do away with communism in Hungary once and for all, his approach is fundamentally a bolshevik one."
You are correct. But how would you call other countries practices who forbid officials of the previous regime to hold public office? Had Hungary had a similar law, we would not have this mess, a firmly believe.
As a Hungarian living in the country, I appreciate any motion the EU or any country have made to support the people. However, we have not yet learned the lesson hard enough to understand the essence.
Looking at the forums, like Facebook and others, the most people are expecting legal steps against the elected leaders once they are dethroned. They believe that once justice is made, everything will be solved.
I am afraid, as long as we do not understand that revenge is never a solution but much rather collaboration, coalition, debates, etc, so the more difficult, more time consuming, more complex ways to work together, we will not succeed.
Mr. Peter Róna, visiting professor of economics at Oxford Univ, said a few days ago: Orban can be put out from power easily on the day when his claim from the line of credit is denied, but the Hungarians must figure out what to do next. As long as he is still popular among the voters in Hungary, it is our problem, the EU is not going to tell us, who should be the next PM here.
To add to that, we are proud of fighting for independency for about 500 years, although it was ultimately unsuccessful. Namely, Hungary was governed by foreign powers in that period.
Today, when we have the choice of selection, we succeeded in putting a dictator into power and we are expecting now a foreign power to tell us what and how to do. "Unfortunately", nobody is going to tell us, so.... we are waiting.... And, it will stall as long as we get into a deep economic trouble where everyone of us will feel the problems on our own skins.
I believe, we once must get to that point to learn the lesson in the hard way. Otherwise, we cannot respect freedom that someone else give it to us as a present. Sadly, it would be counterproductivein the long run.
Can you interpret also Orban's: "We mustn't ask for so much [for our own business from EU grants] that we would be the ones who win the largest amount." How about "Do not listen what I say to get elected"?
Police brutality in 2006.... against the hooligans who were throwing molotov cocktails, breaking store windows, setting cars on fore, and attacking the police? Can you interpret Fidesz MP, Andras Nyitrai's desire to use live ammunition?
"A szolgálatban levő rendőr az egyik olyan, aki egyébként, ha az ő életét es testi épségét fenyegető veszéllyel találja magát szemben, minden külön engedély nélkül használhatja a fegyverét, és akit mondjuk kockakövekkel hajigálnak - és higgyek el, hogy isteni szerencse, hogy ott nem halt meg egy-két rendőr, meg egy-két nem rendőr is,hozzáteszem, mert ott össze-vissza hajigálták a köveket. Ha ez nem elég jog arra, hogy valaki használja a fegyverét, akkor itt nagy baj van"
"A policeman on duty is someone, who can use his weapon without any special permission, if he faces a situation that threatens his life or can cause bodily harm – like when rocks are thrown at him - believe me, it was from the grace of God, that one or two policeman or one or two non-policeman did not die I must add because there everybody threw rocks in every directions. If these is not good enough legal reason to someone to use their own weapon, then we have big problems."
I agree with philos007 on that 100%.
I also would state that all Hungarians are Hungarians, so by optimal_R telling those who live abroad and care for their homeland that they should not come back because they do not agree with Fidesz' antidemocratic measures and the lies that Fidesz pushes will not create peace.
optimal_R cannot preach for peace under his terms, and either Fidesz. One cannot say that if you believe in Fidesz we want you, if you do not agree than stay where you are and do not come home. THat is divisive, and that is the exact politics that Fidesz does with pumping it up with propaganda.
I think people should make up their on mind based on facts and then lets hear everyone out.
These right-wing Orbanist people are so touchy when it comes to them being critised. When they act the same way, it does not matter. Double standards are a big problem in this pathetic corner of the world.
I can't follow you. I quoted the questionable post, and let people make up their mind what Cosmopolitan, you and I meant. Case closed.
I don't think cosmopolitan34 would be "extremist", simply because he happens to see things differently from your opinion. He has a right to have his opinion AND stay + live in his home country.
The basic difference in our philosophy is that I accept and respect other points of view from different people, without pretending I have the right to judge either their opinion or the person saying it. I may not agree with them, maybe I don't even understand them, but definitely I don't call them names, I don't put them into boxes, and certainly don't tell them what to do or where to go.
Orban was not prime minister in 1988-1989. His first term was in 1998-2002.
He did not have a two-thirds majority back than so he did not have the chance to turn the world upside down.
Europe could do more and if only they did!
The problem is that the European People's Party (or whatever they are called) used to be a keen supporter of Orban and his accomplices while they were in opposition between 2002 and 2010. I can imagine it is extremely difficult for any politician to admit that they have been nurturing poisonous snake on their laps.
